Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Michael Walsh:

Before I came to Wexford, I had a computer system that recorded a lot of the stuff where I worked. I put it in place. The system I have now is a step back by ten years. It is archaic. Are we encouraged to look for new systems? No, it is not in our brief. We spend most of our time fire-fighting so we do not get to that stage. It only happens when we have time to think that it would be great to do something in particular or change something but one loses that thought very quickly.
